The lounge of the Hazbin Hotel is surprisingly peaceful for a change. A small, round table is cluttered with drinks, snacks, and a scattered deck of cards.

The group is playing an odd mix of poker and "anything goes" that Angel Dust insisted on calling "Sin City Standoff."

Angel Dust was leaning on the table, one of his hands was dramatically pressing his cards to his chest

Angel Dust: Alright, you degenerates! Moment of truth. On the count of three, show your cards!

Cherri: Better prepare to lose, Angel. I've got this one in the bag.

Niffty: Oh, this is so much fun! Do we bet dishes next round? I’d love to clean!

Husk: Yeah, sure, because that’s what this game’s been missing. Chores.

Blue: Um...are we sure I’m playing this right?

Angel Dust: Don’t sweat it, kid. Cards are like life, random as hell, and you never know when you’re about to hit the jackpot. Now! One...two...three!

The group slams their cards onto the table. Cherri Bomb cackles as she shows her cards, a reasonable hand.

Cherri: Ha! Take a look at these bad boys. That’s a winning hand right there!

Angel Dust shows his cards, which are decent but slightly worse.

Angel Dust: Eh, not bad, not bad. But don’t get cocky, hotshot.

Niffty: Oh...oh no! I think I goofed up my strategy! I thought pairs were more important...

Husk sets his cards down with a smug smirk as it was an unquestionably perfect hand.

Husk: Read 'em and weep, losers. You thought you had me? Rookie mistake.

Cherri: Ugh, seriously? Can’t you at least pretend to be surprised?

Angel Dust: Alright, alright, we get it. Big tough guy with a killer hand.

Everyone turns to Blue, who lays his cards on the table.

Blue: Um, is this good?

On the table lies an unholy combo.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon paired with all five pieces of Exodia.

Angel Dust stares at the cards, jaw dropped. While Cherri chokes on her drink.

Angel Dust: WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. HELL?

Cherri: Holy bombs, kid! Did you just...how is that even possible?!

Niffty: Wow! That’s so cool! Is this the part where confetti comes out?

Husk:....I quit. I’m done. I can’t compete with whatever this is. Who even put those cards in there?!

Blue: W-Wha?

Angel Dust: Kid, do you even know what you’ve done? This is, like, double illegal in five dimensions!

Blue: I just thought the dragon looked cool and the other cards matched....

Cherri Bomb was laughing so hard that she falls off her chair.

Cherri: Oh my God, I can’t! This might be the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen!

Angel Dust: Alright, new rule. Blue is banned from cards. You’re officially too powerful for this crew.

Blue: But...did I win?

Husk: Yeah, kid. You won life.

Niffty: This was the best game ever! Let’s do it again!

The group dissolves into laughter, with Blue quietly smiling, still unsure what exactly he did to cause such a reaction. Approaching the table, was Charlie and Vaggie, the former had a huge smile on her face after seeing the group enjoy their time together.

Charlie: Hello everyone! Sorry to disturb your game, but it's time to continue our Past Lives assignment!

Blue: Oh, already?

Vaggie: Yeah, we thought it was about time that we started the next part.

Husk: Well, good thing we don't have to revisit me. I'm done with that

Charlie: Yes, that means we have others to look at!

Angel Dust: So who's turn is it now?

Charlie: Hmm....how about...Niffty!

Niffty: Me?

Husk: Niffty, huh? Yeah, that might be the next thing to do

Cherri: Ooo, I always wondered what her story is like

Alastor: Yes, I certainly agree

Out of thin air, the Radio Demon emerges in his usual stance, with the same menacing and mysterious aura around him. He turns his attention straight to his Right Hand man.

Alastor: Hello, My Right Hand

Blue: Hey Boss! We're delving into Niffty's past, do you know some things about her?

Alastor: Ah, I'm afraid not. But Niffty herself will have the answers

Niffty: I do?

Alastor: Of course, you just need to think hard.

Niffty: Hmm....Oh! I do!

Charlie: Already? Wow, I was expecting to do hard research for her!

Angel Dust: Not even scientists can help you understand Niffty

Cherri: Not even herself!

Husk: Eh, she seems to know some parts. Let's just get this over with.

And so the group gathers around in the meeting part of the lounge so that they can discuss Niffty, with Alastor joining this time.

Charlie: Okay Niffty, can you tell us what you known about your past?

Niffty: Ooo, how far do you want to go?

Vaggie: Maybe about....since your childhood

Niffty: Oh! Then I have a very good story to tell you!

Blue: You do?

Niffty: Yep! The earliest thing I remember was that my parents wanted to make me the best housewife or something.

Vaggie: But why?

Niffty: So I can marry a rich guy!

Angel Dust: Now this is interesting! Sounds like one of my dreams

Cherri: I am not surprised

Husk: Didn't think you would be

Vaggie: Alright, back to the story, everyone. Niffty, can you go into depth on what you had to do?

Niffty: Oh yes! I learnt how to clean, cook, take care of people....and I learnt how to kill!

Niffty had a more...sinister glee when she mentioned the killing part, the only one not disturbed was Alastor.

Alastor: I must say, you had good parents!

Charlie: W-What parents would teach their kids how to kill?!

(All of Blue's Father Figures would)

Niffty: So that I can take of my future man!

Angel Dust: Damn, you must've been raised in the hood or something if you need to kill

Cherri: For real!

Charlie: You can continue, Niffty. What happened after?

Niffty: Well, as the years passed, I really started to like them bad boys~

Angel Dust: Ah, so that's where the addiction started

Husk: In her teens? Yeah, not surprised, most kids can't be like Blue nowadays

Blue: Am I really the face of what a good kid should be?

Everyone: Yes

Niffty: But you have a bit of bad in you~

Blue: Q_Q

Charlie: Okay, now Niffty, can you tell us how you felt about your childhood?

Immediately, everyone could feel the tone shift. Niffty, usually known for her bubbly but chaotic energy....was hesitant to talk about her life at home.

As if it was something uncomfortable to mention.

Niffty: I....didn't like my parents, they were so strict to me. They forced me to become perfect....it's why I like to work for Alastor! He is so much nicer and relaxed!

Alastor: Why thank you, Niffty

Charlie: Aww, that's nice of you to help Niffty, Alastor

Alastor: Of course, Princess. Our partnership benefits both of us, and I already know how much of a huge helper dear Niffty has been to the Hotel.

Niffty: I clean! And kill bugs!

Charlie: She helps out a lot!

Vaggie: Yep, I can't deny that.

Angel Dust: So uhh....how did you die?

Niffty: Hm? I have no idea!

Charlie: Y-You don't?

Blue: She just like me, for real

Vaggie: You two definitely were killed and sent here. We just need to find out how, there are definitely hints out there to help tell us.

Blue: I hope so....my life depends on it Q_Q

Charlie: W-Well, I guess this concludes today's session. You can enjoy the rest of the day everyone!

Charlie goes back upstairs so that she can sort out somethings. Vaggie follows her while the others play another game of cards....without Blue.
__________________________________

A few days pass, and Blue was just laying on the sofa, thinking. Husk was at the bar, Angel Dust was with Valentino, Cherri Bomb was also not here, and Charlie was working.

Vaggie comes downstairs and spots Blue.

Vaggie: Oh good, you're here. I need you and Niffty to get a few things

Blue: Hmm? What do we need?

Vaggie: Not much, just small things

Vaggie hands Blue a list, and he leaves the Hotel with Niffty. They head into the heart of Pentagram city, which was all about gang warfare, violence and death.

But Blue would be fine as he would protect himself and Niffty. While walking, someone accidentally bumps into someone. It was Katie Killjoy herself.

Katie: Watch where you're going!

Blue: Oh, umm...my bad

Katie: Yeah, that's righ-! Wait...you're that boy! The one who killed Adam!

Blue: Oh, you know who I am?

Katie: Most demons should, especially one as fuckable as you~

Blue: Um! ._.

Niffty: Hey! Back off!

Katie: Oh, is this your pet?

Blue: She is my friend

Katie: Your friend?

Blue: Yes, so please don't refer to Niffty as my pet. It isn't nice

Katie: Isn't nice? Kid, you're in fucking hell! No one is nice down here! My name is literally Katie Killjoy! You're in here for a reason, a bad one, whether you like it or not-!

An explosion goes off in the background due to the gang war that had been occurring, and a giant shard of glass was shot towards the back of Katie's head.

Blue, being much faster than most demons, stretched his arm out and casually caught the piece of glass with his hand. Katie was speechless, and didn't know how to react, while Blue had a calm expression.

Niffty has sparkles in her eyes, as she liked this version of Blue, where he was cool and badass. Of course, she likes his other side too, because he is too cute.

But....her thing is bad boys.

Blue: Maybe so, but while I'm down here, I'm going to stay with whatever character I think I am...and that's being a good person

Katie: I-I....okay...fair enough

Blue: Well! You have a good day, Miss Katie!

Blue throws the glass piece away, and walks with Niffty skipping beside him. Katie watches them leave, still with that speechless expression, before it turns to one of....lewd.

Katie: He really is a hottie~

Blue and Niffty continue on their walk, as they reach the many shops of Pentagram City. Blue looks at the list and goes over the items.

Blue: So we need....paper...some tools, and some ingredients. Should be light work!

Niffty: Oh! I know where to go!

Niffty leads Blue to all the places where the items they needed were located. They used the money provided to them by Charlie, since she was swimming in money due to her status as Princess of Hell.

Once they were done, they were ready to leave when they are approached by a suspicious looking Demon that resembled a mafia boss of some sorts.

???: Well well, I recognise that look everytime I see it. Niffty!

Blue: Hm? You know this person, Niffty?

Niffty: It's....him....that's my husband

Blue: Wait what?!

???: Yep, she ain't lying about that. The name's Joseph

Blue: Wait, you died? Actually, that's obvious since you're in front of me. How did you die?

Niffty: I killed him.....

Blue: Say wha?

Joseph: It's all true, the reason I'm here is because Niffty decided to take care of business.

Niffty: He didn't like me, so I pushed him into the fire....and watched him burn

Joseph: True story, but seeing as you're here. That means-!

Before Joseph can finish speaking, a random Imp runs across and grabs the bags that Blue were carrying. Blue's eyes widen and he gives chase.

Blue: Get back here, Shocker! Shockeeeeeeeeeeer!

Blue was out of sight, as he needed to grab the stuff back. Niffty watches him go, and as soon as she turns around to face Joseph, she gets caught with a punch to the face.

Niffty falls to the ground, and felt dizzy, but wouldn't fall unconscious. She wants to get up, but is knocked down again.

The last thing she sees is Joseph looking down on her with a malicious grin, and two pairs of hands grabbing her. She is shoved into a car, as it drives off towards a tall, sketchy looking building.

Blue, who had beaten up the Demon imp that tried to run his pockets, returned with the bags of items. However, both Niffty and Joseph weren't in the spot he had left them.

Blue: Niffty? Where did you go?

He looks around and tries to find his friend, wondering if she is causing chaos somewhere. Back with Niffty, she was strapped to a chair on the highest floor of Joseph's gang building.

Her former husband was standing there, with his gang members around the room.

Niffty: J-Joseph?

Joseph: Awake? Good, I want you to stay awake for all of this

Niffty: What? You're going to...hurt me?

Joseph: [Grins] Just like back then. But not just that, I can see that your body is slightly smaller than when you were alive....I wonder how tight you are? Can you take all of us?~

Niffty: Ooo, you're sick

Joseph: Maybe I am, but you are my bitch at the end of the day. Before I was interrupted by my own Imp grunt, I was going to bring up the fact that you're here...because it seems my old men got you in the end, correct?

Niffty: Oh, them non-bad boys? HAHAHA! Stabbing them was fun!

Joseph: You killed them all? Then how the hell are you here?

Niffty: I think my dad accidentally shot me, he must've been scared about the blood

Joseph: Is that so? Well you're also going to learn what being scared is like....you despise getting dirty, right? Well it's about time that you look like a mess

Joseph's hands were reaching out to Niffty, mainly her clothes. Despite not showing much fear, Niffty was slightly scared about what devious acts her old lover was going to do to her.

It wasn't just going to be him, it was also going to be his gang members.

Suddenly, the wall is broken down, and a figure appears from it.

Blue: Wow, that wall was really weak

Joseph: What the hell? We are at least five stories up! How the hell did he get up here?!

Niffty: B-Blue?

Blue: Ah, there you are, Niffty! I was looking everywhere for you-!

Immediately, one of Joseph's goons had taken out a dagger and went to slash Blue with it. But the young Demon caught the blade while still maintaining eye contact with his friend.

Blue: Wait...why are you tied up?

Blue flings the dagger, and also the goon away, while still looking at Niffty.

Goon: My Leg!

Blue: Is Joseph trying to hurt you?

Niffty: Y-Yes!

Blue: Ah....just wait patiently, I'll deal with these fools

Joseph: Oh really? And what are you going to do-?

Blue didn't even need to use his katana. His hand to hand combat was more than enough as he, rather easily, takes out all of Joseph's minions.

It was only Joseph now, and he was sweating rivers. He takes out his pistol and aims it at Blue, but his hands were shaking a lot, showing the nerves he was feeling.

Joseph: Y-You better step back! I'll blow your fucking brains out!

Blue: You don't seem confident

Joseph: S-SHUT UP!

Joseph opens fire, but Blue moves his head to the side and out of the line of fire. The next thing Joseph felt was pain as Blue had kicked him so hard in the stomach, he went through three walls before falling down to the street below.

Blue turns his attention back to Niffty, and frees her. Niffty immediately gives Blue a hug, which he returns.

Blue: Are you okay? He didn't hurt you, did he?

Niffty: Nope!

Blue: That's good, I didn't know that Joseph is a bad man. I'm glad I managed to find you!

Niffty: H-How did you find me?

Blue: Well I last saw you with him, and....well there is a giant sign that says "Joseph's Crib".

Niffty: Oh....

Blue: Yeah, not really a good idea. Well, shall we go home? We've got the things we needed

Niffty: Okay!

Blue picks up the bags containing the items that he and Niffty needed to get. Niffty jumps onto Blue's shoulders and points ahead.

Niffty: Onwards!

Blue: This truly is, A Golden Experience.

Blue, while holding the bags and Niffty, walks back to the Hotel, putting an end to an eventful but Lore Expanding day.

Mainly centred around a small, Maid Gone Psycho.
